Angus: We see this attack as setting the stage for an attack where Trump could go anywhere. The same language he’s used against Venezuela, he’s used against Canada—and he sees that we have immense resources. The difference is, good luck thinking that you are going to break the Canadian people.

It's still wild to look at this lump and realize that no one has ever failed upwards more than this sack of crap.

No matter what interviewers said in '08, I read the Family. Wanted to know more about what I had experienced as true - Christian fundamentalism did not die in 1925. It has tragically acrrued more power since.
What’s about to happen at SCOTUS is why I’ve opposed premature declarations of Trumpism’s collapse. Drumbeat since ‘15. Just like Christian fundamentalism has been declared dead every 5-10 years since 1925. When I pub’d The Family in ‘08, interviewers asked why, since Obama was ending Right forever.

Seriously, what is the over/under on how many monthly payments it’s going to take for the Blue MAGAs to process that Democrats just killed Obamacare, like do they think it will still exist in three years when maybe there’s a possibility to get the subsidies back, how do they think this works

A real banner week for Chuck Schumer, given that only a few days ago he refused to back the Democratic nominee for mayor of his home city.

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

Rep James Talarico (D-TX) has a valid argument here, the divisiveness being curated by the algorithms is causing harm to our republic. I’ll take it a step further the fetishization of guns in our culture is the true culprit. We need to get back to debating and not decapitating.

Bolsonaro convicted for attempted coup!
Congrats, Brazil. Way to have rule of law.
Embarrassing for the US by comparison. Both Brazil and South Korean handled coup attempts better than America, and get to still have a democracy.

Mahmoud Khalil was kidnapped and detained for 3 months simply for the crime of advocating for Palestinians not to be killed in a genocide. That's it. He was a peaceful protester and activist.
He broke zero laws.
Still, they kept him from his liberty and infant child.
